When P-Chem first started, there were only a few employees. The
employees were from the same town. However, as P-Chem
became bigger, more types of people joined the company. Now, P-
Chem has a diverse workforce with people of different genders,
ages, nationalities and backgrounds, and personalities.
Because there are so many different kinds of people at P-Chem, its
sometimes difficult to manage them. All managers must receive
diversity training. In the training, managers learn to understand
and respect different ways of thinking. They also learn effective
ways to communicate with their staff. Sandy has learned a lot in
these workshops.
Try Complete the tasks below.
1. Practice answering and asking Yes-No-Key questions.
